I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. ^(D)I have said nothing in secret. ²¹Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.” ²²When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, ^(E)“Is that how you answer the high priest?” ²³Jesus answered him, “If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong; but if what I said is right, why do you strike me?” ²⁴^(F)Annas then sent him bound to ^(G)Caiaphas the high priest.
